Introduction Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)

The composer: A short concert-opener where I use Norwegian folk-tunes. I wanted to create a short musical picture of the Vikings running from the seashore towards some people they wanted to fight down. They used to drink something made of mushrooms and became very wild. They didn??t feel any pain, they didn??t feel any fear. They where called the Berserkings! 02:00

Introduction & Punk Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)

Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen's (1964) way of composing can be described as: uncompromising, wilful and contemporary. It is not surprising, therefore, that this occasionally causes a stir. In the middle of the Seventies a trend arose in youth culture, which was characterized by provocation, distrust of the great ideologies, and the autonomy of the individual. Punk is playful, aggressive, often humorous, and anti-everything, which inevitably leads to self-irony. The first part of Aagaard-Nielsen's composition (Introduction) is a texture based mainly on one short theme. This pompous theme breathes a spirit of cold empty plains, where icy winds sigh around your head. In the vehement Punk (Presto barbaro!) there is no longer any question of a theme. The basis for this part is formed by a repetitive motif (a descending minor third). This motif is alternated with very powerful percussion beats and later on shrill harmonies. 04:30

Introduction And Dance (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Handel, George Frideric

George Frederick Handel (1685-1759) originally wrote this "Sarabande" as the third movement of his Suite No. 4 for harpsichord. Ralph Gingery expertly arranged this rich stately music (used as the theme in the film "Barry Lyndon") for successful performance by younger bands. However, the work also remains a rewarding and valuable piece for more mature ensembles.

Introduction and Festiva

Interesting modern techniques of composition contribute to the unique flavor of this piece. Polytonality, dissonance and creative percussion writing add great drama. Following a slow introduc tion, this work relentlessly surges toward the climactic ending. By the composer of the best- selling ``Avantia.'
